Your printers runtime and parts broken or not?

[Stigern]

I'm just curious to hear how long a flashforge lasts before something breaks down.

Anyone care to share their mileage?

Mine has:

120h.
400m filament.

Nothing broken so far.

1-1000 hours, absolutely no issues.

At about 1000 hours I had some nozzle clogging problems, which turned out not to be my machine but the cruddy filament FF sold me..

Currently at 3170 hours nothing else really has failed that wasn't my fault originally, or nothing that could not be repaired.

Have been through.... um alot of filament I honestly have lost count now.

How do you know the exact time of use ?
Is it indicated in a menu of the flashforge dreamer ?

Where do you all go for replacement parts? I'm running out of excuses to not buy some various colors of t-glase for a project I'm working on. Along with that I need a larger diameter nozzle which doesn't appear to exist for this machine. I figured if I can find a decent/cheap source for a replacement nozzle I can just drill it out to the size I want.

I have a menu item called "Bot Statistics" not sure if its in your newer firmware.

No menu item for that on the flashforge dreamer... :-(
